EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations modify the Cycle Racing on Highways Regulations 1960 in their application to the three stages of the Tour de France 2014 due to take place in England on 5th, 6th and 7th July 2014, by varying three of the standard conditions set out in regulation 5(1)(a) of those Regulations.
As respects the Tour de France 2014, these Regulations increase the maximum permitted number of competitors to 220 and disapply the conditions limiting the extent to which the route of the race may pass along the same length of road more than once and may pass along roads subject to speed limits of 40 miles per hour or less.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. The Explanatory Memorandum is available alongside this instrument on the website (www.legislation.gov.uk).
